Hi, I just had a robotically assisted radical prostatectomy. That was last Tues 6th. I am back home, mobile and all is good. The gas inside in taking its time to go away which has been one of the most uncomfortable aspects. But I am sure in another day or so it will be gone.
My surgeon put in a subcutaneous catheter into my bladder. All has been fine up until today where it now feels very tender. I changed my dressing today and there was no sign of swelling, redness, or discharge. So I am wondering if this is just normal and 5 days after surgery as other parts begin to heal, I am just noticing the issue with the catheter? My urine is generally clear, sometimes pink as small blood clots etc get passed through.
Any thoughts and similar experiences most welcome, as I have another 9 days with it in.
Thanks, Ian
